About Us

Greater Manchester Moving is a charity with a clear purpose to change lives through movement, physical activity and sport.

We lead, support and connect people and partners across the system to develop and deliver on the whole system vision and approach to the shared GM Moving in Action strategy.

We are one of 42 Active Partnerships; a network across the country who work collaboratively to create the conditions for an active nation and use the power of sport and physical activity to transform lives. We also work with Sport England to support the local implementation of the Uniting the Movement Strategy.

GM Moving published our first Environmental Sustainability Plan in September 2024. In line with Sport England’s requirements, we’re proud to lead the way in making a greener, more sustainable future everyone’s business.

Aligned with Sport England’s 'Every Move' strategy, we will support the sector in tackling the climate emergency. We’ll work with national and GM partners—including GMCA, TfGM, GM Active, climate action groups, Active Partnerships, and National Governing Bodies of Sport—to drive real change.
